“Come to find out that was my daughters favorite color, was yellow,” said her father, John Bush.

The mother of five was shot and killed at her home on the 300 block of North 5th Street more than a week ago. According to her father, she was shot in her kitchen while holding her 3-month-old child. Her 7-year-old son found her dead and called for help.

“This is just a thing that's heartbreaking for any family, in anyone's family, you know? And it's like still a dream that you know, it's happening to my daughter,” Bush said.

Police are investigating her death as a homicide but have not named any suspects. Bush said he’s heard there may be more than one suspect involved.

Rosado’s friends and family ask anyone with information to call the police.

“This is a senseless, you know, thing that happened and we want justice,” said Lavon Washington, a friend of Rosado’s.
